2019 Moppa Springs Red Blend: A Testament to Barossa’s Resilient Terroir

Hailing from the rugged heart of Barossa Valley, South Australia, the 2019 Moppa Springs Red Blend is a masterful expression of Grenache, Mataro, and Shiraz grapes thriving in one of Australia’s most extreme climates. Here, the vines endure icy winters and scorching summers, forging wines of profound character and depth. This unique terroir—marked by its Mediterranean-like dryness and mineral-rich soils—imparts a distinctiveness that sets this blend apart from conventional reds.

Crafted with precision, the 2019 vintage spent months maturing in a combination of carefully selected American and French oak hogsheads and large vats. This aging process not only softens the tannins but also enhances the wine’s vibrant color and layered complexity, resulting in a harmonious balance of power and elegance.
